Spike as a wimp sounds very annoying indeed. I liked how he planned things and then ruined his own big schemes by getting impatient. Also the fact that he was unimpressed by and mocked Angel, who I found really dull in Buffy!, made me love having him around.
I didn't like Wesley in Buffy, but then I don't think we were really meant to; he was so obviously a pompous ass that was displacing our beloved Giles. In Angel I really like him, but as I mentioned in a different comment, I have only seen the first season so maybe I won't like him as much in later series.
